Abstract:

The elimination of mismatching point is a key step in image mosaic. To speed up the mismatching point elimination in image matching, an efficient algorithm for mismatching point elimination is presented. Based on the RANSAC(random sample consensus) algorithm, the algorithm aims at the feature of the image sequence. First, the match points are sorted, divided into three parts and piecewise picked randomly to estimate the transforming matrix. Second, the matrix is cursorily checked with a novel interzone limited pre-test model, a further check is executed on the matrix that passes the pre-testing to get inliers. Finally, the least-square method is used to the inliers to get the real matrix. Experimental results suggest that the proposed algorithm is of lower complexity, higher accuracy and stableness especially in cruel conditions, which meets the demand of image sequence mosaic well.
